"Based on my DPRP profile and listening preferences Stephen felt that his second release, Playing With Time might well appeal to me. However what raised the ante for Playing With Time is hinted at in the album title. Unlike many rock based guitar albums where the emphasis rests purely with the virtuosity of the guitar playing, Stephen has incorporated his progressive/fusion influences to offer a varied accompaniment to his primary instrument. Best illustrated by the longest track on the album, Con-Fusion, which emerges nicely from Questions, a solo piano interlude. I have absolutely no problem recommending that you check out Sifu Stephen Doe and in particular this album. I loved the guitar tone, the fact that Playing With Time wasn't just a display of guitar histrionics, but rather a careful mixture of well constructed melodic compositions with "in context" guitar playing." says BOB MULVEY from DPRP.

Sifu Stephen Doe is described as a “Genius by Virtuosity” in the February/March edition of Guitar Nine Records magazine.

“His electrifying techniques used in his tempos and transitional key changes make these energetic pieces a clever gift for the trained ear”, says a fan.
